Increasing Efficiency Through AI

On May 8, 2025, a significant workshop titled "Innovative AI: Enhancing Business Efficiency Starting Today" was co-hosted by Dooox and Tokyo SMEs Investment Development Corporation. This gathering aimed at demonstrating practical applications of generative AI to improve organizational efficiency was led by the Sales Division Head, Mr. Asaka Go.

Workshop Agenda

The purpose of this workshop was to introduce participants to the fundamentals of generative AI as well as its application in various business contexts. A diverse group of professionals attended the event, all eager to explore the potential of AI in their respective industries. The workshop combined lectures with hands-on exercises, allowing attendees to interact with major AI tools such as ChatGPT and more.

A Collaborative Space for Learning

The workshop kicked off with a group brainstorming session where participants identified pressing challenges, problems, and aspirations within their organizations. Through this discussion, the workshop established a common ground for why the adoption of AI is essential in the Japanese corporate landscape, highlighting the noticeably lower usage rates compared to other countries.

Empowering Participants with Knowledge

Following the initial discussions, attendees learned about the evolution of generative AI, its distinction from traditional AI, and key tools available, including text generation AI, conversational search engines, document generation AI, and image/video generation tools. Each tool was introduced alongside practical demonstrations, providing clarity on their functions and real-world applications.

Group Discussions on AI Utilization

In the second half, participants engaged in a dynamic group work session, tasked with discussing how they could leverage the introduced AI tools to solve actual problems within their businesses. Ideas sprouted, reflecting a strong interest in integrating AI solutions—one example being the reduction of meeting minutes preparation time through voice input coupled with AI.
